@Kirinfm Can you please provide a reproducible test case (e.g., a Selenium IDE project file attached as a zip file)?

This may not be a selenium ide bug, it only reproduce when I use the Quick UI Framework (a UI lib).

The project file you provided points to localhost. Do you have a public site that demonstrates the issue? Or can you attach an HTML file?

You can put static folder on Nginx Server. the HTML file under the static folder

Oh, my bad. I didn't see the HTML file in the zip. I'll take a look.

This will be resolved when we move Selenium IDE playback to WebDriver (timeline TBD).

We are adding try/catch commands soon, which will provide workaround for this issue. You can track its progress in #718.

Thanks
